Who is Servando Carrasco?

Born on August 13, 1988 in Coronado, California, USA, Servando Carrasco is a professional soccer player, best known for his career in Major League Soccer (MLS) – the top soccer league in the US and Canada – playing for the team LA Galaxy as one of the midfielders. He also played for other teams during his career, including the Seattle Sounders FC. He is the husband of professional football player Alex Morgan.

The riches of Servando Carrasco

As of mid 2020, Servando Carrasco’s net worth is estimated to be over $300,000 earned through high-value contracts with his career in Major League Soccer.

He is also likely benefiting from his wife’s success as Morgan has an estimated net worth of over $3.2 million. She is one of the most recognized athletes, female soccer players in the world.

Beginning of early life, education and football

Although Servando was born in the US, he spent most of his childhood in Tijuana, Mexico, the hometown of his parents. He later moved back to California and attended St. Augustine High School. During this period, he developed a lot of skill and experience playing football as he was actively involved in the sport as a child.

He played for the school’s soccer team and later became a member of the San Diego Soccer Club when his family settled in the area.

The club is one of the most competitive in the state and has competed in many youth tournaments. During this time, he earned several accolades, including the San Diego Union-Tribute All-County Player of the Year. He started to take his ambitions in football seriously when he joined the Olympic Development Program and the Premier Development Program, both of which helped him launch his career in professional football.

Further studies and college football

After graduating from high school, Carrasco was offered an athletic scholarship to the University of California, Berkley, which he accepted.

The university is part of the large University of California system and is the oldest of them all, despite having other popular campuses as the flagship. Berkeley saw the development of many things, including the Manhattan Project (atomic bomb) of Berkeley scientist JR Oppenheimer. He soon began playing on the college regular roster and became one of the team’s consistent scorers and assists. During his sophomore year, he was named to the All-Pac-10 second team, where he started most of the year, recording seven assists on the season and further improving his game.

However, during his third year, he suffered an ankle injury that kept him out for most of the season. Despite this, he still showed enough skill to be named to the All-Pac-10 second team again. During his senior year, he became the co-captain of the school’s squad and eventually made it to the First Team All-Pac-10. He was also named to the NSCAA Third Team Far West Region. He completed his college career with 13 goals in four years.

Professional career

In 2011, Servando decided to turn pro and joined the 2011 MLS SuperDraft.

MLS is a major professional sports league and has grown in popularity over the years, boasting one of the highest football attendances in the world. It is the third most watched league in the US after the National Football League (NFL) and Major League Baseball (MLB). During the design he was selected by the Seattle Sounders FC during the seventh round, making him the 27th overall pick. He appeared in his debut game a few weeks later against the New York Red Bulls, but he was not used much during his stay in Seattle and only scored his first goal two years later in a game against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Then he was traded to the Houston Dynamo and then to Sporting Kansas City. This was not the last trade he was involved in as he was subsequently transferred to Orlando City SC – he was frequently traded as his contract expired. During his time in Orlando, he scored his second career goal, but the team opted not to re-sign him after his contract expired. He wasn’t done when he joined the 2017 MLS Re-Entry Draft, and he was selected by the LA Galaxy; he has played for the club since 2018.

Wife – Alex Morgan

Alex first rose to prominence playing college football for the University of California, Berkeley, and after graduating early, she quickly transitioned to a professional career.

She was drafted as the first overall pick during the WPS draft by the Western New York Flash. She helped her team win the championship that year and was subsequently selected to be part of the United States women’s national soccer team, which would go on to win silver at the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, being the youngest on the team.

She then made history when she scored 20 goals and 20 assists in a single year, making her the youngest player to achieve the feat and only the sixth woman to do so. She continued to play for the U.S. team in subsequent tournaments, helping them win both the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cups and the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cups.

She also joined Portland Thorns FC during the National Women’s Soccer League inaugural season, contributing to the team’s championship win that year. She has also won the continental European treble during this time playing with French team Lyon. She’s one of them highest paid footballers in the world, especially because of the many endorsements she has received due to her popularity.

Private life

Servando met Alex while they were both students at UC Berkeley – they started their relationship there and have been together ever since. In 2014, the couple got married, and they had their first-born six years later. In his free time, he often visits his hometown in Mexico and treats his mother who survived two attacks with breast cancer. He also does a lot of charity work, just like his wife, who has promised to donate a percentage of her salary to charity.
